The apartment’s location was a short walk to the Metro subway as well as some amazing restaurants. It wasn’t located in the city center so it was more quiet and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to the Metro for easy transportation to/from.

Beautiful apartment plenty of space for a family
The location of the apartment was in a quiet neighborhood and was walkable to a small grocery store and a few restaurants. We used Uber a lot to get around to other parts of the city and that was very convenient. The apartment does have other residents and they do not want any noise so I would definitely not bring a rowdy group or small children. The owner was very responsive and gave us a late check out to accommodate our Ferry time which we appreciated. The view was absolutely gorgeous, the pictures did not lie.

Great Location, Awesome View
The property is beautiful, and accessible by elevator, six floors up. The view is exactly as shown in the photos and is spectacular. It is near to many attractions and services. The deck view is spectacular. The gentle breeze and pleasant temperatures in (summer) mornings and evenings, makes it great for breakfast and unwinding. Sunsets are heavenly. It was spotless and generally pleasant for food prep, dining and sleeping. One area that needs attention, however, is the hot water. There was none, which made showering quick and simple since it didn't matter which way you turned the fixture, you got the same temperature water. Given the overall quality of the experience, along with Athens' simmering temperatures, however, it was more of conversation piece for our group rather than a deal breaker.

This property does NOT want you
The driver hire by the property management didn't know exactly where the property was, so there was some walking up and down the street to locate the property, during which time we were assailed by an angry neighbor who shoved a complaint into each of our hands, which clearly spelled out that we were NOT welcome, we were NOT guests, and that we should leave. The flyer also went on to malign the property owner as not belonging to the neighborhood, only some foreigner looking to make money. This cast a pall over our entire visit, some family were scared for their safety as the flyer made clear we were NOT welcome and should leave. Yannis, who was waiting for us only shrugged the flyer off, clearly he was quite familiar with this practice, and he didn't care. Yannis impatiently showed us around the house and could not get the stove to work. The master bedroom shower does not hang well in the holder, which is loose, and falls on the person taking the shower and spraying water everywhere. The chairs in the dining room effectively are on three legs, which means if one leans even slightly in either direction, the chair threatens to fall over. Seat cushions don't stay on the chairs as their straps are mostly broken, probably from previous guests falling over in the chairs. Ironically, after the angry neighbor's flyer spewing hate for foreign visitors and accusing us of bad behavior and noise, we heard loud music on Saturday night through the entire night. The AC worked.

A perfect Athens stay
The property description perfectly describes the unit. We had a lovely stay. The views are truly wonderous and the outside patio was a great game night spot! Beds are comfy and AC works great. The small challenges we faced was: cabs didn't like coming up to pick you up at that location (we didn't try UBER so maybe that's a better alternative), the stairwell is lit by individual floors so sometimes it got dark in there and we had a tough time figuring out how to program the dry cycle on the washing machine to dry the clothes. We would hearitly recommend the unit and would return without hesitation. Thanks for a lovely stay!

7 Disappointed Travelers
View of Athens was spectacular as advertised. But, the negatives overrode the view and the claim of an "Exclusive" apt. The manager was not on-site at the check-in time, although he had been texted 1 hour before we arrived as requested. When called, he said he would be there in 1/2 hour but it took almost 1 1/2 hours after check-in time before he arrived. This caused us to miss our 4:45 tour costing us $464, which he barely acknowledged. The beds hadn't been made, which he finished (sort of), leaving one of our group to make up her own bed. In the house tour, he said that the dryer didn't work, and we would have to use a drying rack (small) like most Athenians. The advertisement definitely didn't mention that-and 7 passengers just getting off a 9-day cruise couldn't fathom hanging our underwear off the balcony, despite this being the local custom even if it was feasible. Another problem was the hot water. The apartment uses solar to supplement the electric, but we were supposed to leave it off most of the time. But for 7 people, solar was insufficient to handle our hot water needs. The resulting cold showers were not appreciated; electric heat became a necessity. Would not recommend for families with small children or seniors. There are random stone steps in the apt. and dining chairs that have only 3 legs. Both of these resulted in several falls and bruises.

Great experience
The property is spacious, very well-maintained, and in a quiet neighborhood. The view from the apartment is stunning, and offers a panoramic scene of the city of Athens. It was an amazing place to explore the city from, far out-of-the-way for it to be quiet and restful in the evenings and close enough to get into the city without an issue every day. I would highly recommend it for someone wanting to see Athens not be overwhelmed with the noise of the inner city.

Great place to stay in Athens
We really enjoyed our stay in Athens and this apartment met all our needs. We were a party of 7 adults and there was room for all of us. A driver was available when we needed, and Uber worked really well also. We felt at home in the large living space and the view was incredible. Thanks for a great stay. I would recommend this apartment.

Our family stayed here in April for a few days in Athens. We enjoyed the views and hanging out on the balcony. The listing was accurate and it was easy enough navigating the buses and metro from the apartment. It was a nice walk/hike to the top of Lycabettus Hill too.

Great Place with a Great View
The apartment is beautiful with a well thought out modern design. We loved the LED lighting in the master bedroom. The three and a half bathrooms are all modern with late model showers and toilets. There were plenty of bath towels and toilet paper when we stayed. The beds are all comfortable with clean linen and the closet space throughout the apartment is fit for a queen. From the air conditioning to the plumbing to the water heating everything worked well. The terrace, the living areas, and the dining/kitchen areas are wonderful places for large groups of friends or families to spend time together. Finally, our host Costas made our stay even more enjoyable by taking care of our transportation from the airport and recommending great places to eat (Kuzina is amazing).
